Hard rockers Avenged Sevenfold announced the dates for a world tour today, which includes a stop in Syracuse this spring.

The hard rock band will play at the Oncenter War Memorial Arena on Thursday, May 15, 2014 as part of its Shepherd of Fire tour. Opening for Avenged Sevenfold is Dallas-based rock group Hellyeah.

Tickets are $25, $39.50 and $49.50 and go on sale Friday, February 21 at 10 a.m. via LiveNation.com, at the Solvay Bank Box Office at the Oncenter or by calling 1-800-745-3000.

The Syracuse show comes near the end of the North American leg of Avenged Sevenfold's worldwide 'Shepherd of Fire' tour. The tour is named for the band's hit single off its latest album, "Hail To The King." The album reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart last fall.
